Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

very punchy and very chocolaty, the kind of chocolaty notes that often come with very high ABV’s. Also coffee (same comments) but not much else. With water: unlike with the 1990, water doesn’t work at all here, as the whole gets plastic-like and even a little smelly (gym socks). You’ll have to wait for quite a long time before it gets a little cleaner (but very yeasty)

restaurant Palate

as hot and spirity as the 1990 but less kirschy. Anyway, this isn’t meant to be sipped at cask strength, so, with water… Much better now but it’s a little late, isn’t it! ‘Smoked oranges’ and black tea (indeed)

timer Finish

long, orangey and peppery
